Susan Sontag wrote that "Depression is melancholy minus its charms." For me, living with depression was at once utterly boring and absolutely excruciating.

Classics of Game 134

Game: Cookie's Bustle: Mysterious Bombo World (PC, Mac)

Here we embark on the strangest leg of our journey. We'll have plenty of time to talk about the game itself, so let's start with why these next few entries don't have Youtube links:

Entries 134-141 all feature Cookie's Bustle, a charming little adventure game from 1999 that was scarcely known until it was found in a collection of obscure Japanese games leaked in 2018. Its feature on Classics of Game in 2019 immediately garnered a fair amount of interest. In 2021-2022, strange and unexplainable circumstances transpired behind closed doors, culminating in most footage of Cookie's Bustle (as well as the game itself) being wiped from Youtube and the internet at large via copyright strikes. CoG was not its only victim, as other streamers like sebmal, MelodyBurst, WordsHere and Retro Pals were caught in the crossfire.

Investigation reveals a number of suspicious factors, such as the claim being initiated by someone named Brandon White from the UK (seemingly no involvement with the developer), as well as the US trademark that perpetuated the initial strikes being attributed to a shell company registered in Andorra. The situation is full of red flags that seem to indicate the work of a very dedicated copyright troll, but a number of details make even this explanation inconclusive.

The most pressing contention is motive: Why Cookie's Bustle? Why go through all this effort, money, and red tape just to spoil people's fun in sharing a lovable, strange computer game from the late 90's? No valid explanation holds any water here. This can only be attributed to pure malevolence, the unfeeling chaos of the universe sliding its way through the fingers of bureaucrats and the unmoderated decisions of detection algorithms. Ours is not to know, only to wonder.

Thankfully, CoG broke radio silence in order to properly archive every one of their videos on Internet Archive, which is how I have this footage for you today. DMCA being what it is makes these strikes basically incontestable, even these posts may be at risk of being taken down eventually. As per the timeless wisdom of MST3K, keep circulating the tapes.
